🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

The billboards for these things popping up around LA look like viral advertising for a middlebrow sci-fi movie about a futuristic cult.

Someone I’m friends with posted this and it’s pretty on the nose

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

had the urge to do this since the moment i saw this post! #pixelart

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

"A few weeks ago, I was complaining bitterly about how the New York Times routinely resorts to weasel words, euphemisms and third-party critiques to avoid speaking the truth about Donald Trump. But in the last 10 days..." Froomkin senses a shift, led by Peter Baker presswatchers.org/2025/09/is-t...

When we go TALK TO ACTUAL VOTERS - which I do not think Neera Tanden or Ezra or Jentlessen or any of these people are doing - ZERO of the gettable ones, like the ones that aren't already fully down the MAGA tubes say "I want to vote for Dems but they're pro life" or whatever.

“to the best of my knowledge” doing a lot of heavy lifting here

Incredible stuff

Finally reading the full Gold Card EO and wow is it wild. The order says that any person who pays $1 million is, by definition, a person of "exceptional business ability" and therefore qualified for an EB-2 visa. Does anything better sum up the Trump ethos than "all rich people are exceptional."?

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal. Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

Remember when Pam Bondi said this

These memos are totally normal reactions to totally normal policymaking that's definitely and totally what non-autocratic governments do. www.theverge.com/news/782258/...

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

Incredible stuff

the internet has never been more real life than it is now and tpot's dumbest poster is in charge

i think it's pretty clear at this point that trump cannot be dissuaded from the idea that asylum simply means that these are insane people from other countries entering ours

So inspiring to see Joe Dante at @vidiots last night! Truly one of the keepers of the flame.

Kash Patel's notes during his congressional testimony as photographed by Getty: "Good fight with Swalwell"

Here's what will happen if Trump's $100k fee on H-1Bs stands: America's top tech companies will accelerate the expansion of their overseas offices, which are already huge. Net effect for the world: "Brain Gain" (gift link) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

When I studied abroad at Oxford during law school, it was a common thing for Americans to argue that the written US constitution was superior to the unwritten UK constitution because it's harder to ignore written rules. I guess that argument is basically over now.

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Probably the best thing I have read on this subject.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

said it yesterday but the people who commit this violence increasingly show us that they deeply understand how our information ecosystems process it. It appears to be part of the appeal for them. And yet the response doesn't really change. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

on Facebook, I've noticed a lot of folks who I'd characterize as conservative but not at all radicalized describe Kirk in terms that are virtually unrecognizable to anyone who studies politics; it seems clear that white evangelical spaces were presented a highly curated version of Kirk

America sure is online now

There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

Former podcaster and author of 2022 children's fantasy book depicting himself as wizard and Trump as king faces scrutiny over leadership of entire FBI www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

hey the people that stormed the capitol and erected gallows to murder elected leaders want you to know that political violence is not ok

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE

Not great, Bob!

One pair of our friends recently moved to Ireland, and another pair just told us they’re moving to Italy. It’s really happening, folks!

Very glad to see that someone is doing the important work of aligning AI alignment. alignmentalignment.ai

Once again, not a fan.

FBI has released two pics of the Kirk suspect -- wearing some kind of flag T-shirt.

Speaking of Peter Thiel and the Antichrist, here’s a story: For awhile in the early 2000s, my family attended an Episcopal church in Denver. There was a guy who also attended the church named Rob Morrow (not the guy from Northern Exposure).

The thing I always find so weird about Thiel is how he’s constantly warning about a terrible future while also seeming to do everything within his power to make it happen.

The Dems need to stop messing around and run on a ‘we will do what Jason Statham did in The Beekeeper’ platform

Whatever their flaws, it still rules that LLMs can do this trick so well.
